Overcoming Temptations by the Written Word!

Overcoming Temptations by the Written Word

One of the most graphic use of God's word and the demonstration of the power of the written word is seen at the temptation of Christ by Satan in the wilderness.

There's no more secrets to overcoming temptations in daily living after that encounter. It is clear what shuts up the mouth of the devil. Only the written word does!

The wisdom of man can't handle the wiles of satan. Physical aggression in prayer or agitation of internal anxiety doesn't move him other than the fiery shots of the written Word that has been engraved by understanding in the heart and fired by the force of faith in a heartfelt and fervent attitude...

You want to keep standing against the tricks and the pranks of Satan...then get your heart stored up with scriptures ready to put Satan and his temptations where they rightfully belong...under your feet!

If Jesus Christ would need that to survive, you won't need anything less. As the temptations of our days increase and living outside the Spirit of Christ becomes more and more acceptable to society, only those who have kept the Word of God in their heart and use them against satanic temptations will make it to the end...

Traditional morality,  philosophical interpretation to excuse carnality, and modern-day doctrines of antichrist permissiveness can't work out in us what the written word of scriptures would do for us...

Religion and dedication to activities that don't add to scriptural knowledge and understanding may not help in having the written Word engraved in the heart or add anything to our living a victorious Christian life...such can only develop superstitious rules that at best would keep us physically in check and under certain control through unnecessary fears but not in the victory won for us by Christ Jesus...
Satan is never and would never be afraid of religious activities, he could even suggest more to keep one busy in the wrong things...

It's time we began to do personal assessments of the scripture arsenals we have against the fiery darts of the enemy and start laying them up against the evil day...

The Word Works Wonders!

[My Offline Bible] Psalms 119
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

[My Offline Bible] Matthew 4
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
